ventura city hall印象

We visited this building for business purposes and loved walking around seeing all the beautiful marble and staircases. This is a grand building, very historic, and is located at the end of California street, right near the Mission. In the back of the building is the new Botanical gardens hiking train which traverses the hills behind main street and takes you up to several scenic lookout spots. Its a great hike.

Its an amazing building with all its history. The art work, sculptures are great. The view from the front down California St. to the Ocean is unbelievable. A wonderful experience.

As we explored the bistros and interesting small shops in Ventura on foot, we were drawn to the City hall: an imposing "beaux-arts" style 1912 white structure, located above the shopping district on Poli Street. Twenty four faces of Fransiscan padres adorn the facade and murals and other artwork line the interior walls. The second floor City Council Chamber features three stained glass domes and lovely views of the Pacific Ocean in the distance. In front of the City Hall is bronze statue of Padre Junipero Serra.

My friend and I spent July 4th visiting the Ventura City Hall and scouring the fun thrift stores and street vendors on Main Street. The City Hall is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. The beautiful marble and wood interior is something one does not see anymore in newer buildings. There is also a marvelous "huge" wood carving of Father Junipero Serra inside the building. We also spent time on Main Street Ventura. My friend and I live approximately 50 miles from Ventura and we took the Amtrak train that dropped us off at the Ventura Fair Grounds and we only had to walk 2 blocks to Main Street. We passed by interesting murals and fountains and old historic buildings. If you like history, then you would like this day trip.

Wonderful, well kept building and grounds with information abounding. Wish all cities had the many activities found in Ventura

It is hard to explain how pretty this complex is. There's the excellent terra cotta exterior with monks heads all around, the exquisite marble thru out the interior, and the beautiful council chamber room. Out front is a wonderful sculpture of Fr. Serra and the whole thing looks out over the Pacific. It's free so take 30 minutes and check it out.

The City Hall building is a wonderful building on the outside with its array of heads and its grandiose style. But inside you can find art in the lobby and along the hallways both upstairs and downstairs. Fun place to wonder and it is always cool, even on a really hot day.If you go in the back and go up the elevator you get to the floor where Focus on the Masters resides and there you can see art photos of our most well known local artists.

Loved all the Spanish tile work and fantastic architecture! A real jem, over 100 years old and still amazing. The gardens surrounding it are so lovely to walk in.

The view is spectacular like most people have noted. However, the building itself has a sordid past; such as Ma Duncan being the last person to be sentenced to death in the state of California. It is said that she haunts it still! Look at the super creepy relief sculpture's outside the building as if she is coming out of the plaster! The best thing about this place is that the restrooms are the best in town. So if you need a place to do some dooty do it here! They could absolutely improve it buy having some of the Chumash influence represented; instead of the dirt lot on Thompson where the current Chumash Memorial Park is. What they do have is a gargantuan bronze sculpture of a Catholic priest that supposedly "settled" the place. I checked out several of the memorials in Ventura it seemed more like exploitation of workers for industry nothing to celebrate. I don't believe I have ever noticed any Chumash artifacts at City Hall this does not fully represent the cities citizens or the true nature of Ventura.

The architecture here is lovely. The facade is designed with a european influence, with the monk statues pay respect to the cities founders.
